The Killing Bay by Chris Ould

When a group of international activists arrive on the Faroe Islands, intent on stopping the traditional whale hunts, tensions between islanders and protestors run high. And when a woman is found viciously murdered only hours after a violent confrontation, the circumstances seem purposely designed to increase animosity between the two sides.As English DI Jan Reyna and local detective Hjalti Hentze investigate, it becomes increasingly clear that the murder has other, more sinister aspects to it, and that crucial evidence is being hidden. Neither policeman knows who to trust, or how far some people might go to defend their beliefs.

Highly recommended." - Bookgasm "an interesting mystery on its own merits. The background of the Faroes is an added bonus, giving it a unique flavor. I definitely recommend it." - The Soap Boxers "A tense thriller....a particularly delightful read for readers who crave for stories similar to those of Henning Mankell and Elizabeth George." - Mystery Tribune "a commanding, almost otherworldly, setting, and the author certainly knows how to bring it to life" Kittling Books "A subtle and satisfying read; absolutely pick this one up for the fascinating weave of multiple storylines and bleak atmosphere - another must-read in a brilliant series" The Crime Review
